Hi Steve:
I did have fun, wish I could have gotten up to check the round table but you kind of have to find a freq and sit on it. LOL
As for the 590, it could be a none lottery consideration as the price up here in canada is 1999 plus a couple of extras for a few bucks.
You could get a nicely equipped 590 for 2800. So does the 590 have duel watch capability or just a/b switching and split?
